• 2 eggs
• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1.5 cups chopped Butterfinger candy bars
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• 0.5 cup peanut butter
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for frosting consistency)
• 0.5 cup additional Butterfinger candy, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in 1 1/2 cups of chopped Butterfinger candy bars using a spatula.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, softened butter, and peanut butter in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 12

Gradually add in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 13

Mix in the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 14

Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake.

Step 15

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped Butterfinger candy over the frosting for garnish.
